Decades ago at a particulary bad point in my life I was in London. Prior to that in my early 20s I had been to St Paul's Cathedral and the choir was practising and the sound came up through the gratings and was mystical. Rolling forward I decided to go to St Paul's and seek solace. There were queues to get in via the paying desks. I ignored them and just walked into the cathedral (I was, after all, a confirmed member of the congregation of the Church of England). I was duly accosted by an attendant. When I said that I was going to pray he responded that "that is what they all say". I'm not sure whther he was referring to queue jumpers or implying that I was getting in without paying. For me the whole ambience of the building and it's purpose was destroyed in that moment and I've never been back. The Cattedrale di Pisa has a good system. Paying sightseers and <br />those those wishing to say prayers have separate entrances. In those circumstances as a sightseer I was happy to wait my turn and to pay my fee.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-56329792283540267932021-10-28T14:22:04.461+01:002021-10-28T14:22:04.461+01:00We still haven't properly explored the city, I...We still haven't properly explored the city, I guess lockdown kept us away.

I definitely have to get up that way one of these days, though the pictures from the heights of the cathedral give me vertigo!<br /><br />It IS astonishing how ambitious the builders of those cathedrals were, considering the technology available at the time.<br /><br />The version of "I Can See Clearly Now" I know is by Johnny Nash.
